SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 541,945, dated July 2, 18975. Application filed September 8,1894. Serial No. 522,429. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

,Be it known that I, SAMUEL D. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Ghurns, ot which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a churn body, in two sections, aring of angle iron in connection with one section forming a receptacle to receive a packing, and a fastening `supported by one section for uniting the sections consisting of a pairof bails, each bail supporting a cam which engages the other section.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an Velevation of a churn, showing myimprovements. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the churn-as seen when looking against one of the trunnions. Fig. 3 is an isometrical representation ofthe angle iron ring. Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical section ot a section of the churn body and of the angle iron ring. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectionof the upper portion of the top section of the churn body. Fig. 6 is an isometrical representation of the movable rest for the cam.

The lower section 1 ofthe churn body is of dish form, having the material of its open end bent back parallel with its sides and then bent at right angles tothe body portion, as shown at Fig. 4.

The upper section 2 is of substantially the same conformation and size as the lower section having an iron ring 3, held by the mate rial of its open end encircling it.

A ring of angle iron consisting ot' a base 4 and rim 5 has ears 6A made integral therewith, located at four equidistant points, and from the outer face of the rim extend trunnions 7 and 8, the latter having its end fitted to receive a crank. The opening ot' the base ot this ring is sufficient to receive the lower section 1 of the churn body, and receives the outwardly extending flange 9 of the section, and screws 10, passing through the flange enter screw threaded holes 11 in the base, thereby joining the ring to the lower section of the churn body. The annular recess formed by the Arim of the angle iron ring, the

flange 9, and vertical side of the churn body.

are litted with a packing 12, as shown at Fig. 4., and the open end of the upper section rests upon the packing.

Within the ears 6 are located screw threaded eyebolts 13, and a nut 14 is placed thereon above the earanda nut 15 below it, and by means of these nuts the bolts can be vertically adjusted and firmly clamped. To a pair of these eye bolts is pivoted a bail 16, and a similar bail 17 is pivoted to the remaining pair of ears, and to each. bail. is pivoted a cam lever 18.

To the upper section ofthe churn body near its closed end and to opposite sides of the section, are secured brackets, composed of a base 19, having overturned lips 20, and aseotion 21, bent to form a socket 22, having its walls perforated. A portion of the base is provided with an elongated opening 23.

A plate composed of a base 2t and vertical portion 25 is placed in connection with the bracket secured to the upper section of the churn body, by its vertical portion sliding in a guide way formed by the lips 20, and a projection 2G, extending from the upper end of the vertical portion is bent into the elongated opening 23, thereby preventing the displacement of the plate.

A nut 27 is placed in the socket ot' the bracket and a bolt 28 is passed through the `opening` in the lower wall ot' the socket,

through the nut and through the opening in the upper wall of the socket, and presses against the under face of the plate held by the bracket. The nut is held from turning by the outer end wall of the socket.

The Aupper section of the churn body is placed in position upon the packing of the lower section. The bails are then moved upon their pivots untilthe cam levers engage the base of the plates, and a movement of the cam levers will cause thelevers to rest upon the plates, thereby forcing the upper section against the packing, forming a Water tight joint, and by means ofthe bolts 28, the pressure applied by the cam lever may be varied by raising or lowering the plates upon which the cam levers rest, or by the adjustment of the eye bolts 13.

The angle iron ringin its connection with the lower section of the churn body forms a ICO Ito

support for the section, holding it in proper form, and in connection with the section forms a recess for the packing.

The-Wedge shaped ring herein referred to is not claimed in this application, but is claimed in an application tiled by me August 24, 1894, Serial No. 251,241.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a churn, the combination of a churn body in two sections, one of the sections having the material of its open end bent back upon itself and thence substantially outward therefrom, a ring of angle iron having the horizontal bend of the section secured to the upper face of the horizontal portion of the angle iron, forming a receptacle for a packing,

the ring having trunnions extending there-v from. V

2. In a churn the combinationl of a churn body in two sections joined at their open ends, and means for connecting the sections consisting of a pair of bails having a pivotal connection with one of the sections, brackets secured to opposite sides of the other section, an adjustable shelf connected to each bracket,

and a cam pivotally connected to each bail and adapted to engage the shelves.

3. In a churn, the combination of a churn body in two sections joined at their open ends, and means connecting the sections consisting cfa pair of bails having a pivotal connection With one of the sections, brackets secured to opposite sides of the other section, nuts held in place by the brackets, a shelf having aslidable engagement with each bracket, a bolt connected to each nut and supporting its shelf, a cam pivotally connected to each bail and engaging its shelf.

4. In a churn, the combination of a body portion in two sections, an angle iron ring supporting one of the sections, eye boltshaving a connection with the ring, bails having a pivotal connection with the eye bolts,a cam lever supported byeach bail and means connected with the other section for receiving the cam levers, said means made adjustable.
